2014 ford fusion Model Overview

New for 2014

A new 1.5-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine replaces the 1.6-liter EcoBoost I-4 in automatic-transmission form, and can be paired with engine stop-start technology, for a one-mpg improvement in fuel economy compared to the 1.5-liter engine without stop-start technology. Performance enthusiasts can now opt for a summer-only tire on certain SE trim packages and the AWD Titanium model. The Fusion Hybrid is now available in a base S trim.

Vehicle Overview

The Ford Fusion, redesigned for the 2013 model year, is the automaker’s midsize sedan that has a trim level for every kind of buyer. Variants range from the volume 2.5-liter I-4, to the luxurious Titanium, the efficient hybrid, and the even greener plug-in hybrid Energi.

Summary

The Ford Fusion is the automaker’s offering in the incredibly competitive mid-size car segment. The Fusion uses a variety of engine and transmission combinations — as well as its good looks — to appeal to prospective buyers. Starting with the Fusion S, buyers get a standard 2.5-liter I-4 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that makes 175 hp, 170 lb-ft of torque, and gets an EPA-estimated 22/34 mpg city/highway.

Most non-fleet buyers will start their 2014 Fusion search at the SE model, which gets a six-speed automatic,and a 2.5-liter I-4 as standard equipment, but have the option of a turbocharged 1.5-liter EcoBoost I-4, which makes 178 hp, 177 lb-ft of torque and is rated at 23/36 mpg city/highway, or the more powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4 that makes 240 hp, 270 lb-ft of torque with an EPA estimated 22/33 mpg. The 1.5-liter EcoBoost/automatic transmission combination can also be equipped with Ford’s automatic engine stop-start technology, which boosts EPA estimates to 25/37 mpg. More sporting buyers of the SE who choose the six-speed manual transmission are given the turbocharged 1.6-liter EcoBoost I-4, which delivers 178 hp, 184 lb-ft of torque and 25/37 mpg.

The well-equipped but pricey Fusion Titanium comes standard with the turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4 and a six-speed automatic, and unlike many other midsize sedans, has an available all-wheel-drive system.

Hybrid and PHEV

Buyers thinking green can choose a Fusion Hybrid that’s powered by a 2.0-liter Atkinson I-4 combined with an electric traction motor, which produce a peak output of 188 hp, gets an EPA estimated 44/41 mpg city/highway, and comes only with a CVT automatic. For those interested in the additional efficiency of a plug-in hybrid there is the Fusion Energi, available in SE or Titanium trim. The Fusion Energi comes with the same 2.0-liter I-4/electric motor combination as the hybrid, but has the option of running on electric power alone for up to an EPA-rated 20 miles, at a maximum speed of 84 mph. The Energi has an EPA-rated EV-and-gas driving range of 550 miles, and gets identical mileage to the hybrid once the charge has been depleted. A full recharge at 110V takes about seven hours, but at 240V takes only 2.5 hours.

The 2014 Ford Fusion has a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA (out of a possible five stars), and the IIHS designated the Fusion as a Top Safety Pick+ for 2014. All trim levels of the Fusion are now available with inflatable rear seat belts, which are designed to provide increased comfort and safety for passengers.
